Comment(by Weiss):

 Thanks for the reply again.  I've obtained a full 'dmesg' trace (dmesg-
 beforejiggling.log) which shows the timeouts from the start with nothing
 else which looks relevant to me.  I opened the case and checked the WLAN
 module, but it seems nicely seated and is very firmly stuck in place.  I
 tried to wiggle it around a little but it really wasn't moving more than a
 fraction of a millimetre.

 After poking around, the timeouts in dmesg seemed to have gone (dmesg-
 afterjiggling.log), but there was still no wifi (same 'no such device'
 errors).  On a subsequent bootup, the errors had returned (dmesg-
 afterjiggling-withtimeouts.log).  I'm afraid I couldn't swear to the
 timeout messages not having been intermittent before the poking around - I
 wasn't watching too closely until I began to realise that the messages
 during bootup could be related to the wifi problems.
